DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center (CSRC) was founded in 1969 with a commitment to foster multi-disciplinary research as part of the overall mission of the university. It is one of four ethnic studies centers within the Institute of American Cultures (IAC), which reports to the UCLA Office of the Chancellor. The CSRC is also a co-founder and serves as the official archive of the Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR, est. 1983), a consortium of Latino research centers that now includes twenty-five institutions dedicated to increasing the number of scholars and intellectual leaders conducting Latino-focused research. The CSRC houses a library and special collections archive, an academic press, externally-funded research projects, community-based partnerships, competitive grant and fellowship programs, and several gift funds. It maintains a public programs calendar on campus and at local, national, and international venues. The CSRC also maintains strategic research partnerships with UCLA schools, departments, and research centers, as well as with major museums across the U.S. The CSRC holds six (6) positions for faculty that are appointed in academic departments. These appointments expand the CSRC’s research capacity as well as the curriculum in Chicana/o and Latina/o studies across UCLA.

  • Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands
    Amor en Aztlán: Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands by Wayne Alejandro Wolbert A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor David Montejano Professor Paola Bacchetta Summer 2019 © Wayne Alejandro Wolbert 2019 Abstract Amor en Aztlán: Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands by Wayne Alejandro Wolbert Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation examines the Texas Mexican musical genre known as conjunto and its concomitant social world. In this work I situate conjunto within a broader context of Mexican American cultural production, Texas Mexican popular music, and the shared histories of the U.S.- Mexico borderlands. As a social history, the dissertation traces the development of the genre and its practitioners across the twentieth century to the present. I examine interactions of power; expressions of identity; and constructions of race, class, and gender through movement (dance), performance (instrumentation and playing), and place (the dancehall or nite club) within and around San Antonio and South Texas. I argue that conjunto is an embodiment of Xicanx thought and knowledge, an everyday act of resistance and reaffirmation. 1 Dedicación

  • Purpose: Given the Historical Exclusion of U.S
    Purpose: Given the historical exclusion of U.S. Latinx visual art in major museums and collections, artists, scholars, curators, and patrons have taken grassroots measures to preserve the cultural contributions of Latinx artists by forming community art organizations, research centers, artist collectives, websites, and databases. However, to date, there does not exist a comprehensive list of where these entities exist, how they were formed, and who they serve. What are the organizations that actively support Latinx visual artists via funding, advocacy, and/or archival means on local, regional, and national levels? Furthermore, where is Latinx visual art supported online, in what ways, and by whom? In 2019, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity (CCSRE) at Stanford University awarded two un- dergraduate students, Shannen Orquidia Torres and Miguel Samano, summer fellowships to research these questions with USLAF. Under Dr. Rose Salseda’s advisement (USLAF Associate Director; Assistant Professor, Art & Art His- tory, Stanford University), the two students developed the “List of Advocates for Latinx Art,” a resource provided by USLAF for scholars, researchers, and other parties interested in the long and ongoing legacy to support Latinx visual art in the United States.
